So this should be an authoritative-only nameserver, not a resolving 
nameserver.

Why is this a problem? The client nameserver should follow the 
delegation.

Stub resolvers should not point to a server that has recursion disabled.

Forwarders are only used when recursing. If recursion is disabled, 
forwarders are useless.
